Yucky Monday!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here on a right grotty Monday!

It was so good over the weekend, F1 racing and rampaging around the Sea Front!

This morning we looked out the window and were in two minds whether or not to go for our walk but Eric was jumping up and down and rattling the cage!

It was raining but not too heavy so we decided to carry on.

Eric was having a great time diving into the wet grass and running along the Sea Wall, blooming show off!

I must admit that I was glad to get home, a bit damp and soggy but I got wrapped up in a couple of Doggy Towels and Holly and I had a snooze on the bed while Old Two Legs did his jobs!

Lunchtime we were out again but Wendy decided to stay at home, she said that the wind had got up and it would be too draughty!

Draughty? Really? No, it was a balmy day!

Now, this is what we call 'Breezy'!

 As we walked along the Sea Wall the sea was being blown over the wall and onto the path. Holly got splashed at one time and quickly decided that it looked dangerous and headed up the hill!

This wet is coming from the side instead of falling from above!

 Getting into the woods, away from the Sea Wall we could see that Autumn is galloping along. Leaves are falling and it won't be long before all that will be left is the tree trunks and branches.

Another three weeks and they will all be bald, just like OTL!

 Just before the car park, we had to pass the gate and there, sitting on top of the top bar was.....................A Rock!

It's another Grain Rock!

OTL has been playing on the computer today, since he installed the new modem it's all been flying in the office and there has been no hiccups at all!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Sunday, so it must be F1!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

What a race for first place! It almost was a hectic as when Holly and I race for the treat box after eating all of our dinner!

Eric came out with us this morning but because it was so dark we didn't take the camera with us but after the run Eric was so exhausted he didn't even try to chase Wendy! He had some breakfast, a slurp of Lactose Free Milk and a couple of capfuls of Ferretone and then put himself to bed!

Miss Wendy had the run of the house and enjoyed a game with Old Two Legs where she would chase him until he turned around and then she would roll on her back and laugh her tail off as he tickled her tummy!

Other than beating Eric up she reckons this is the best game!

Lunchtime she was awake so OTL got the cage out and her harness and off we went to the Sea Wall.

OK, I'll race you to the end!

Miss Wendy had a great time, first by running along the Sea Wall 'cos that helped her trim her claws a little. OTL normally trims them for her but she says that the concrete works just as well!

She ran almost all the way along the wall and then down onto the beach. The tide was in and we suggested that she go for a swim!

Not Ferret Friendly!

Mind you, I think I may have had a dip myself but OTL had that 'You Just Try' look in his eyes which meant I would be in his 'Bad Book' if I did!

Something tells me I would be in trouble!

 About half way through our walk the rain started, not heavy but enough to notice!

OK lads, let's head for home!

 We got back to the car and found a rock parked next to the car. Holly asked it if it wanted a ride anywhere but the rock didn't answer her but Wendy suggested that we park it on top of one of the concrete posts to save it getting run over!

Another of the Grain Rocks.

Anyone had a look on FaceAche for Grain Rocks? OTL isn't into FaceAche so we don't know what it's all about.

F1 Racing was good, Hamilton looked grumpy 'cos he came third but his mate Bottas came first!

You'd think he would be pleased for him!

Vettel made a cod's of the start and never looked like getting close to Bottas or letting Hamilton get past!

Loads of bumps and bits falling off the cars, it makes it more interesting when they are allowed to 'Race'!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

A Soggy Doggy Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

What a day it's been, we started off first thing this morning getting up early, like it was very dark!

Eric rolled over and went back to sleep and Wendy didn't even wake up!

There was the 'Light Rain' falling as we headed for the car but by the time we got down to the Sea Wall we had decided that today it will be a 'Quick Poo and a Wee and back home!

We ignored the rabbits that were pulling faces at us while sitting outside their rabbit holes!

Back home for a rub down with one of our Doggy Towels then off to the bed for a chew and a snooze while Old Two Legs cleans the cages.

Eric was in a good mood, he was chasing Wendy around the lounge making her squeak her tail off every time he got close to her!

By the time they got back to their beds they were both tired!

Lunchtime was no different and the rain was coming down even heavier that this morning so it was a case of the fastest wee and a poo you have ever seen!

OTL had the new modem delivered this morning and he has spent almost all day getting it to talk to all the Wi-Fi and hard wired stuff.

The only thing that is not listening to the new modem is the outside camera, seems to have fallen asleep!

That will be a job for OTL tomorrow!

Now, we are sure that there will be a more exciting tale to be told about Alfie The Pug and the sleep over. We were wondering if Archie Babe managed to keep all his own scoff or did The Pug get his nose in Archie's bowl?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret! 

Erik De Dog Looking Smoooooth!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back again!

Well, it's Friday again and this is the day the dustbin men call. We just love it when the call 'cos Holly and I give them a really good woofing!

Not that they take much notice!

Eric was awake early and demanded to come with us for the morning walk. The sunrise didn't happen so we ended up with us walking along the Sea Wall sniffing the sniffs.

When we got back little Wendy had woken up and was waiting to get out of the cage for a rampage around the house while Old Two Legs cleaned the cage.

One thing we noticed, the pair of them would be running around and bump into each other and instead of Wendy doing her screaming bit they just sniffed and ran on!

Lunchtime it was raining, a sort of misty rain that gets you wet without trying!

Holly and I changed the path we took so that we went through the bushes and then climbed up on top of the old fort.

Looking down on the Grain Fort.

 One good thing about our end of the world, there are loads of forts scattered around the coast.

 OTL found another rock and saw that it had some advertising on it. 'Grain Rocks' FB.

OTL reckons that it means there is a FaceAche page that covers the rocks but as OTL doesn't have access to Face Ache we will have to ask The Missus to investigate!

It could be Rock and Roll!

 When OTL finished photographing the rock he found us having a game of chase with a couple of woofer and OTL got a picture of Erik looking all smart!

OTL did some Fiddly Diddly and produced this portrait!

Now, do I look cuddly or wot?

 Now, you know we have a 'Wild' pond in the back garden and this year we were plagued with algae and OTL had to dig it out by hand. Well, TM had been doing some reading on cleaning out your pond!

So, we have on order a water butt and a gallon of natural algae killer which when we top up the pond, should keep the algae at bay.

Sorted!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

OTL gets Tecnical with the Help Desk!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back again!

Another sign that Autumn is here, The Missus and Old Two Legs installed the 'Winter Half' of their duvet this morning.

I must say, the 'Winter Half' does make the bed all snugly and warm!

This morning we were up late and missed the sunrise which while it was colourful wasn't spectacular, no clouds, just the sun coming over the horizon!

As we were a little late, it gave Eric time to wake up and convince OTL to take him with us which wasn't any hardships and he did enjoy a run along the Sea Wall and even had a little dig in the sand on the beach!

Back home Holly and I waited until the duvet was on before jumping up to give it a good test before falling asleep for an hour or two!

Hey! It was good to hear that Archie Babe managed to run circles around the vet, it's good when you can get your own back!

Lunchtime came early 'cos OTL had been chatting to the ISP (Internetty Service Provider), or rather the 'Help Desk'.

There has been some trouble with the Internetty, it keeps stopping and was beginning to drive OTL to call it all the names he normally reserves for the computer!

Well, the Help Desk sent a filter that had no effect, in fact the whole thing stopped until OTL took it out again!

The Help Desk said that they had tested the line and found that everything was working as it should.

This upset OTL and he asked them if they understood the word 'Intermitant'!

They agreed that OTL should keep a log of the times the Internetty falls over and what the results are of the BT Wholesale Line Test. This he did and it looks like the Modem was at fault cos the incoming signals were within specification but the out going was a load of poo!

A new up to date model of modem is on it's way!

Wendy came out with us for the lunchtime walk and once she got going, she had a great time sniffing the sniffs and digging holes in the sand!

Back home she went into the cage and headed off to the food bowl, waking Eric up as she stood on his head to get her nose into the bowl.

Now, Eric didn't like that and thought that she was attacking him.

..................and that's when the fight started!

It was a good thing that OTL was there to part them both and after a cuddle Eric went back to bed and Wendy rolled into the bed and went to sleep!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

More Rollin Stones!

Hello Woofers!

We are back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

You can tell Autumn is a coming, on some trees the leaves are all gone and the leaves left on the other trees are getting ready to fall!

With the leaves gone you can see for yards!

Another sign is the paths, they are getting muddy and soggy so we have to wipe our paws before getting into the car!

This morning we left Eric in bed and headed out in the dark to catch the sunrise. Old Two Legs has missed a couple of sunrises and wants to get a 'Good' one before the clocks go back to 'Real Time', unfortunately, today was not his lucky day and all he got was a grey sky!

No sun behind the trees today!

Back home Wendy was still asleep but Eric was shaking the cage door, cross that we left him in bed instead of waking him up for a run!

Mind you, lunchtime he was asleep again, so we left him to snooze!

Down on the Sea Front we found another of those painted stones on the back of a bench, so OTL turned it around ninety degrees and left it for someone else to find!

I might take a wander down on the beach!

As we got back to the car park there was another stone on the 'Notice Board'. How the stone climbed up there we are not sure but OTL moved it along to the end so it could rest against the post!

So, who is this Man United?

 Holly and I got to go on the beach and have a roll in the sand. OTL called us both 'Smelly Nelly Woofers' but we didn't care, just as long as we get out roll!

Shove over, this bit's mine!

 OTL decided to add his marker to the beach and found a Whelk Shell so he left it at the top of the stairs from the beach. Let's see if it's still there tomorrow!

You are Whelkcome to move me if you want!

 Over the last couple of days we haven't heard any squeaking from Miss Wendy, so that means she is getting more tolerant of Eric or he has been keeping out of her way!

If there has been any squeaks in the past, OTL goes in the office and opens the cage door and Wendy comes flying out of the cage door and lands in OTL's lap!

It's her that is making all the noise and chances are that it is her who starts the punch up!

OTL reckons it won't be too long before the pair of them will be found in the same cuddle cup and snoozing!

Crossed claws!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Stone Me! More Fungi!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

Another fun day down in North Kent. Young Eric came out with us this morning for a run. He had been rattling the cage door to attract Old Two Legs then jumping up and down and squeaking!

Miss Wendy slept on gently snoring!

We have noticed some softening in the relations between Eric and Wendy. A few days ago OTL found them in bed together having a snooze but as soon as OTL walked into the office Eric jumped out of bed and ran over to the cage door to get a slurp of Ferretone!

We have notice that when the pair of them are out on a morning rampage they quite often pass each other without and screaming or fighting. So, claws crossed the situation is getting better!

Lunchtime we left them snoozing and headed off to the beach.

Well, the tides out and that mud does look inviting!

 There we were, contemplating a muddy paddle. That was until a couple of woofers passed by looking like they were ear marked for a bath and dried with an air blaster!

It was fun but stick to the sand, it's cleaner!

 Holly did enjoy a roll!

It just don't get any better than this!

 As we headed back we spotted one of those 'Poo Signs' that Two Legs like painting on walls and poo bins but this one was different 'cos it had one of those painted stones resting on it!

and the sheep is called Shaun!

 OTL was more interested in the fungi he spotted. He has had a look in his Fungi Book but there are so many that look alike!

Well it looks like this when it's growing but........

When it's grown it looks like this!

But we still don't know what it's called!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Do you get that 'Sinking' feeling?

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

It's Monday so that means back to work for Old Two Legs, mind you, he hasn't stopped all weekend so it's not so much, 'Back To' but rather 'Carry On'!

The Plumber Men came back and fitted a new kitchen sink to The Missus's specification and now
that is being polished and buffed to a high shine!

OTL has been playing about with cable and stuff, then packing it all up to send off.

Holly and I have been keeping a close watch on the Plumber Men making sure they fit everything properly and don't squirt water all over the place like wot OTL would have done, he's not very good with water!

The vet send a message to OTL saying that it was time we had our Worming Tablet, well it was addressed to Holly and I and there were my other tablets for my 'Condition' but this time the vet didn't need to inspect us cos we got 'Inspected' a few months ago!

Now comes the fun bit, OTL has got to get the tablets down our throats and our throats don't do worming tablets!

Depending on what's for dinner tonight, we could easily demolish half of OTL's dinner before we agree to eat the pill!

Why do they make the pills so large, I mean, we have seen wheels on trucks smaller that those pills!

We didn't bother with the camera today cos it was raining first thing this morning and we were all in a rush at lunchtime.

It looks like OTL will have to book the big car in for a service and some minor repairs at the end of the month or early next month, you know, that motor is all of eleven years old but still runs well. OTL is looking forward to when it's his turn to win the lottery so he can get another on!

See you all tomorrow and Licky kisses to Izzy!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Now Ya Knee Bones Connected to your Back Bone and Your Back Bones connected to Neck Bone and ...........

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

What a weekend! The Missus has been out Glue Slapping and Old Two Legs has been working on the bathroom floor! The tiles are slowly being stuck to the floor but it is a slow job!

Saturday Morning was spent doing his jobs that had to be finished before he started on the bathroom, then off he went to get a new sheet of hardboard to replace the bit that got soaked when the leak sprang from the loo.

It is amazing just how many awkward angles and radius's there are and there you are trying to manoeuvre a sheet of hardboard around to make it all fit!

Then. once that is all nailed to the floor boards, next it is the tiles!

It's amazing how many swear words OTL knows especially when he is cutting out the bit for the loo to sit in!

Then there is the knees, you know, the leg joint that goes the other way to us woofers, it seems that if you are resting on them for too long, they hurt and then the hurt goes up his back and across to his neck which in turn makes his feet joints all stiff and ache like hell!

Well, that's what he says anyway but Holly and I had great fun watching him work away all over the weekend while we rested on the bed looking at him or woofing at the neighbours walking past our house, until TM rang to get OTL to pick her and all the bags of glue from the village hall!

Now, we have just heard via TM's FaceAche that Little Izzy has been poorly as she has done some damage to her leg and kneecap!

That means she must stay in her cage for about six weeks so the operation can mend her leg!

Six weeks in a cage! That would drive us mad! However, if it mends properly she will be back and running about again!

But six weeks? It's enough to give you the horrors!

You have no idea just how boring this is!

Loads of love and licks Izzy!

Now it's back to the bathroom to see how many more tiles he has done!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

The Weekend is Here!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here again!

It was not so chilly this morning when we went out for our morning constitutional, it was almost warm! Mind you, there was a breeze blowing which stopped us taking off our warm harnesses!

No, I think I'll leave mine on thank you!

Mind you, we looked across the mud flats and there were loads of birds paddling in the muddy pools looking for breakfast!

You know it's the devil's own trouble getting served here, it's just too popular!

Over the last few days we have been finding a brand new moth on the walls or ceiling and Old Two Legs has been spending time looking in his books trying to find it, with no luck.

The Missus whips up her phone, gets onto the Internetty Thing and comes back with....'Looks like a Box Moth'!

So, with that lead, off goes OTL and sure enough he finds that this Box Moth, Cydalima perspectalis,  was first found in the South East back in 2007 and lives and feeds in the Box Tree Plant, a sort of small dense hedge.

Just like the one next door neighbour has surrounding her garden!

Bet you not seen one like me before!

According to information on the Internetty, the moth has been found as far north as Scotland, but they don't say wot part of Scotland!

The wings are a cream colour with brown edging all the way around and in the breeding season they have a fluffy tail!

Strange!

They seem to have originated from East Asia and slowly spread across Europe and now have landed in the UK!

We suffered from an algae in the pond, nasty green slimy stuff that looked horrid. OTL spent a long time raking it out with his hands but today we noticed it had all gone! Let's hope it stays away cos it looks Yuk!

Walking through the trees you can see the leaves changing colour and the oak have all dropped their leaves already!

Here comes Autumn!

Tomorrow TM is off to the village hall for some more glue slapping and dancing around with baskets of glitter!

OTL has got to dig out the spare bathroom tiles and do some serious engineering!

Us woofers are looking forward to a good rest while he works his tail off!

Poor Lad!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!
